Diao Chan and Xiao He recognized each other, which was expected by Lu Bu, although the process was a little tortuous, but the ending was finally good.

Because Lu Bu helped Xiao He from beginning to end, he made Xiao He and Diao Chan recognize each other, which made Xiao He's opinion of Lu Bu change, and it is logical to think that Lu Bu is a good son-in-law.

Once this relationship is confirmed, Xiao He will be tied to Lu Bu's warship for the rest of his life.

"Son-in-law to meet father-in-law." Early the next morning, in the living room, Lu Bu made a gesture to Xiao He.

"Don't be polite."

Xiao He looked at Lu Bu, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, and said with a smile: "You are sensible and know how to help the old man." ”

"The father-in-law is the father of the insider, even if there is no help from the son-in-law, he will recognize the insider, and the son-in-law is just the icing on the cake."

"It's good to know. Sit down, too. Xiao He waved his hand.

"Yes."

The two drank a bottle of tea to each other.

Xiao He said: "Before coming to Xuzhou, I heard that your reputation is not very good, first for a horse, you killed your father-in-law Ding Yuan, and then for the sake of the little girl Diao Chan, you killed your father-in-law Dong Zhuo. You must know that in the world, the most important thing is loyalty, filial piety, courtesy, righteousness, and honesty. ”

Lu Bu said: "My father-in-law doesn't know anything, it's all the world's prejudice against my son-in-law. ”

"Prejudice? What does that really look like? ”

Lu Bu said: "The truth is that although the son-in-law killed Ding Yuan, it was not for the Red Rabbit Horse, but to help Dong Zhuo, support the new monarch, and rectify the dynasty; Because at that time, only Dong Zhuo could stabilize the situation between the DPRK and China, if there was no Dong Zhuo, how arrogant should the Ten Standing Servants be? But I didn't expect that Dong Zhuo was also a very ambitious guy, he was unwilling to be a minister, and wanted to seize the throne, how could I, as a minister of the Han Dynasty, tolerate him? So, he and Lord Situ designed to kill him. The heart of the son-in-law, heaven and earth can be learned, and it is never like the world says, for the sake of a horse and a woman, he will kill his father-in-law. ”

Xiao He frowned, nodded and said, "If that's the case, it's understandable." ”

The two were silent for a while...

Xiao He came back to his senses and said: "I won't mention the previous things, from now on, I hope you will remember the eight words of 'loyalty, filial piety, righteousness, courtesy, righteousness and shame', as long as you do the right thing, walk right, and be worthy of the sky and the earth, you are not afraid of the slander of others." ”

"Yes, son-in-law, remember."

Lu Bu rolled his eyes and said: "Father-in-law, the current Han Dynasty is already in name only, and the Son of Heaven is held in the palm of the Han thief Cao Cao, coercing the Son of Heaven and ordering the princes, his heart is sinister." The son-in-law was dissatisfied with his style and wanted to keep this Xuzhou and do something for the people sincerely. If you can help, not only me, but also the people of Xuzhou will be grateful to you. ”

"I'm just a scholar, how can I help you?" At this time, Xiao He has no historical memory, he doesn't know that he is a person more than 400 years ago, let alone Liu Bang, Fan Hao and other historical figures, his memory has been completely erased since he knew Liu Bang, and it has been replaced with the memory of the Three Kingdoms period. Therefore, although he has the talent to govern the country, he does not know it.

Lu Bu arched his hand and said: "I want to ask my father-in-law to take up the position of the chief secretary of Xuzhou and help me govern Xuzhou." We work together to create a bright world and restore peace to the people. ”

"Your idea is good. It is also my wish to be able to do things for the people. But... I don't know if I have that ability. ”

"Yes! You definitely have! Lu Bu said with certainty.

Just kidding, if even Xiao He can't govern the country, then who dares to say that he has the talent to govern the country?

Lu Bu was full of joy and slept in the joy of subduing Xiao He. But at this moment, I saw Xiao He slowly stand up, walked to Lu Bu, and said, "Minister Xiao He, please see the lord!" ”

"Father-in-law, what are you doing, hurry up." Lu Bu was taken aback, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Xiao He up.

Xiao He said: "This is the rule. You are the lord and I am the minister, so of course I have to bow to you. ”

"But you are my father-in-law, how dare I accept your courtesy?"

Xiao He said very seriously: "Have you forgotten that loyalty, filial piety, courtesy, righteousness, and shame, the first word is loyalty, do you want to put me in a place of disloyalty?" ”

"Uhh..."

Lu Bu was helpless, and said with a wry smile: "Okay, then when we are outside, we are monarchs and ministers, and when we return home, we are relatives." ”

"Okay." Xiao He agreed.

The two agreed.

This conversation established the relationship between the two, and also allowed Xiao He, a great ruler of the world, to officially enter his career. For Lu Bu, this is a huge gain, allowing his talent group to be replenished with fresh blood. And this fresh blood is still a leader of the group.

stayed in Xiaopei City for three days, and further contacted Diao Chan and Xiao He.

Subsequently, Lü Bu led his army back to Xiapi City.

At this time, in Xudu, Yanzhou, Cao Cao was furious.

These days, he has added seals to the princes of the world one by one, some of them are generals, some are named generals of the four expeditions and four towns, and the youngest official is also the assassin of the herdsman, but he is busy coming and going, but he has suffered a big loss.

Why is he the only one who has suffered a great loss?

Because he was busy for a long time, he got nothing. He originally thought that after Liu Bei was transferred, he would let Liu Bei and Yuan Shu fight and lose both, so that he could take the opportunity to seize Xuzhou, but who expected that Lu Bu would insert a bar from it, and Zhang Fei was a fool, so he couldn't even hold Xuzhou and was taken away by Lu Bu.

This caused the serious consequences of Liu Bei's withdrawal of troops halfway and the failure of his expedition to Yuan.

What made him even more unacceptable was that after Liu Bei retired from the army, he did not turn his face with Lu Bu, but got together again, stationed in Xuzhou, and unanimously with the outside world. Liu Bei's army of 50,000 was actually transferred to the border of his Yanzhou, obviously guarding him.

In this way, it will be even more difficult for him to seize Xuzhou.

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, in the lobby, civil and military officials at all levels stood in two rows, waiting quietly. After Cao Cao vented the anger in his heart, he came to the main seat and sat down, and said angrily: "This three-surnamed slave is my defeated general, a lost dog, a scheming person, and he dares to compete with me for Xuzhou, which is unbearable, I want to mobilize the elite and wipe him and Liu Bei away!" ”

"The prime minister is angry, and the current Xuzhou is no longer what it used to be. Lu Bu suppressed many clans, used the grain of the clan, and recruited tens of thousands of soldiers, and its strength was not weaker than Liu Bei. Cheng Yu came out and admonished.

"Yes, with the help of Chen Gong and the help of Lu Bu, Lu Bu is like a tiger with wings, it is difficult for Xuzhou to be attacked again, and the lord should think of another countermeasure." Xun Yu seconded.

Cao Cao raised his head, looked at the people in the hall, forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and said: "You must know that Xuzhou is very important, it can be obtained in the north and south, Yuan Shao can be contained, and Jiangdong can be peeped in, and its strategic position can be limited?" ”

"No matter how difficult it is, I will take it!"

"The prime minister wants to capture Xuzhou, but the minister has a plan, maybe it will work." In the queue on the right, a person came out. The man was in his early twenties, thin, pale, and looked sick.

"What is Fengxiao's plan, come quickly." Cao Cao saw that it was Guo Jia, the first strategist under his command, Guo Fengxiao admonished, and asked happily.
